[Thinkpad] Re: La-Z-Boy vs. R40 Collision - R40 loses.

I'd like to publicly thank Robert at www.screentekinc.com 713-839-9640
for letting me know that my A20M's LCD would work in my R40.
He also had replacement LCD's in stock for $415 - by far the cheapest price
I have found, and certainly cheaper than IBM's $1075.

The swap took a 1/2 hour of careful screwdriving, and works just great !

Thanks, Bob
